This resource provides an interactive activity demonstrating a wave packet in a box. The demonstration shows how the wave packet, representing a quantum particle, evolves while in the box. An interactive diagram is...

This resource provides an interactive activity demonstrating how electrons moving against a potential energy barrier can penetrate through the barrier, even if their kinetic energy is not high enough to surmount the...

This resource provides an introductory activity on "the basic quantum mechanics concepts about electrons that are essential to understanding modern and future technology- especially nanotechnology that will be vitally...

This research paper, presented at the 2002 Physics Education Research Conference, discusses the authors' research on student use of resources in learning quantum mechanics, which shows that a student often needs to make...

This resource provides an interactive activity demonstrating quantum wells. Quantum wells are structures in semiconductors that can confine electrons within an area. An interactive diagram is presented allowing...
